When I'm having a terrible day, the first thing I usually say is "I can't wait for this day to be over." I complain about how terrible it is and wish that day never happened.
I thought hard one day about that simple line, "I can't wait for this day to be over." and started thanking God that the day wasn't over. Why? Because there are people who were probably having the best days of their lives and it was probably over before they knew it. There are people who wished that day would never end, but they aren't here with us today. I will try to never take a day for granted again. Instead I will praise Him through it all because I know He will make a way despite all that I may go through.
As I was typing the very first line I made a typo that I quickly corrected, but then realized it wasn't a typo at all. I typed "I can't wait for his day to be over." His day. It really is His day, and for me to wish it were over or never happened is ungrateful of me.
For this is the day that the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it.
